Tell me, is there anything more punk rock than a toxic waste barrel as your purse? Stay toxic! ☢️

Required Materials:
Medium (Worsted-4) Cotton Yarn. Unfortunately the yarn I used were Joann’s brands of cotton yarn K&C Cotton Gray (233yd) and Black (47yd) and Big Twist Sturdy Cotton Neon Lime (57yd) and Neon Yellow (57yd) (Hopefully you find a cotton replacement you love!)
3.0 mm crochet hooks
Scissors, stitch markers, and tapestry needle

Optional Materials/Accessories:
8-inch zipper
1-inch keychain swivel snap hooks (2), 1-inch D rings (2), and a 1-inch Slide Buckle (bulk set)
2.0 mm hook
Plastic mesh canvas sheet (5” x 5”)

Links to the optional accessories used in the images (zipper, and strap hardware) are linked in the pattern (to Amazon). If links break, please let me know.

This pattern uses US Crochet Terms in English. This pattern is a “beginner plus” level, with lots of pictures and explanations on how to make your own bag with dripping slime appliques. I say “beginner plus” because you need to be ready to tackle a lot of color changes. The bag will be approximately 8” x 5.5” x 5.5” if using that size yarn and a 3mm hook. A 2mm hook is recommended for the optional strap.

You may sell the finished product made using this pattern but give Hook & Riot credit when doing so. Inspiration is fine, but do not copy this pattern directly and sell it as your own.
